Prezados, sou professor de microeconomia no Insper e estou postando no YouTube uma série de vídeos sobre o uso de modelos na ciência. O que é um modelo científico? Quais são os tipos de modelos? Para que eles servem e como podem nos ensinar algo sobre o mundo? Em geral é difícil ter tempo de aprofundar nessas questões metodológicas e filosóficas em aulas de graduação, por isso estou colocando online. Quem tiver interesse, confere lá no canal e se inscreve, já tem três vídeos e o plano é um novo por semana. Valeu!

Cuba
“I can’t say I conducted a study of the Cuban health-care system, but I’ll go out on limb and suggest that people who don’t have children’s Tylenol and cheap reading glasses probably aren’t getting world-class medical care.”

1915 Declaration of Principles by the American Association of University Professors: “The university teacher … should, if he is fit for his position, be a person of a fair and judicial mind; he should, in dealing with such subjects, set forth justly, without suppression or innuendo, the divergent opinions of other investigators … and he should, above all, remember that his business is not to provide his students with ready-made conclusions, but to train them to think for themselves.”

Frederick Douglass
“Everybody has asked the question … ‘What shall we do with the Negro?’ I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!” (Frederick Douglass)
